Apple MacBook Pro

by Gordon Mah Ung

Comments:
We're always a little taken aback when we see Apple's MacBook Pro in the hands of PC power users. For example, we've seen PC game developers typing on MBPs at industry events. And at trade shows, it isn't uncommon to see Windows app developers sporting Ap

Review Verdict: The MBP's CPU is also top-notch: Intel's 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo T9300 chip. This 45nm-based Penryn CPU is just a step away from Intel's fastest mobile CPU, the 2.6GHz C2D. A 250GB SATA drive, slot-fed DVD burner, and 2GB of DDR2/667 make up the rest of the not

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch) Review

by Alex Bentley

Comments:
The news is finally out, and Apple has launched a range of new aluminium laptops under its consumer MacBook and professional MacBook Pro brands. Following a meeting this afternoon at the Apple office in London, we've got our hands on the 15-inch MacBook P

MacBook Pro 15-inch

by Ted Gibbons

Comments:
Laptop computer With its all-silver finish and embossed logo on the lid, the MacBook Pro maintains the Apple laptop lineage, despite the Intel heart that beats within. Externally it looks like an evolution rather than a radical redesign and, once again, t

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch Unibody)

by Dana Wollman

MacBook Pro 2.4GHz review

by Online Shopper

Comments:
Apple's new MacBook Pro may share the same aluminium colour as its predeceossor, but that's where all similarities end. Our review of the new MacBook Pro 2.4GHz explains why this radically different laptop is worth serious attention.

Review Verdict: Upon the first look at the new MacBook Pro 2.4GHz, you could be forgiven for thinking little has changed. It still shares the same size and aluminium colour of its predecessor, but that's where all similarities end.
